Hi Miguel,
maybe my english is too bad to understand :)
The problem with the radios is not the usability or the range.
The problem is that in germany the 2m Licence is for so called BOS (Police,
Firefighters ect.)
and that what we do, using the radios for a youthfirefighter event is a
grey area in law.
(Was ich meine ist das man die dinger eigentlich nur in einsatzfall oder zu
übungszwecken verwenden soll.)
Actual not every youth-advisor got one of these radios.
Happy new year. :)

Hi Henrik,
I think what you need is a local radio repeater. Which does allow you to
expand your reception area. Depending were the camp will be, a local ham
radio (funk amateure) club could be able to help you, at least to finde
the right equipment for your event.
That would allow you to use the 2m commercial radios and save money in
the same time.
